Reshaping people to look like birds, is it progress or retrogression?

As for sci-fi movies, I love them as always, but there are not many that are worth watching a second time. This movie belongs to the type of deleting after watching it.

There are many movies in sci-fi shells. These movies are all pseudo-sci-fi. Although this movie also has a lot of sci-fi elements, I personally think that from the perspective of the main body, the focus should be more on the thriller and the plot ethics series.

sci-fi elements

The main sci-fi element in the movie is genetic modification. In order to transform people into suitable people for Titan (Titan, also known as Titan), a group of people is selected for genetic modification. As can be guessed from the starting mode, this group of people must be the same type of thriller, ONE BY ONE In the end, only the protagonist is left, as expected! Of course, in order to transform people, the accumulation of knowledge in a series of biology, chemistry, physics and other related disciplines does not need to be repeated.

Another element is the immigrant dream about Titan. This dream is also a dream that many scientists have always had. Scientists have basically confirmed that Titan has a lower gravity through emission detectors, spectral analysis, and other measures, similar to The gravity of the moon, with liquid water and a thick atmosphere, is partly similar to the original shape of the earth, so many people dream of one day being able to immigrate to this magical planet! Other than that, I don't see much sci-fi elements.

The need for retrofit

The basic logic shown in this film can be summarized as follows: war broke out among mankind, mainly nuclear war, which made the earth unsuitable for human habitation, and needed to emigrate to outer space, where to go? Some people chose Titan, but the environment of Titan is not suitable for the current human beings, so there is only one way, to transform human beings into a new species that is suitable for the environment of Titan, first send mice to go, When it is suitable, it is mass-produced, and finally a new species (called human beings is not suitable) occupied Titan.

As always, we play World War. After the nuclear war, the earth is not suitable for human habitation. The stalk of the apocalyptic world, about this movie, can be packed in a bag: "Mad Max", "Planet of the Apes", "2046", "Doomsday Dangerous" There are too many movies, and this one is no exception, but after watching the whole movie, except for what the professor put out in the slideshow, I didn't see the end of the world in the movie. The decadence and devastation after the nuclear war are still beautiful! It can be seen from the inside that most of the earth is still suitable for human habitation. Why not use the high technology of the future to transform the polluted areas? Bring back the polluted ones? But you want to use the method of discarding the basics to reform people? But the idea is still quite fresh!

Regarding genetic engineering, there is a voice from beginning to end, which is about the ethical issues in genetic engineering, the previous cloning technology, etc., this article is also, the ethical conflict shown in the previous genetic modification process accounts for most of the pages, It can be said that it has become the theme of this article, so that I kept thinking about when I started to go to Titan, and waited until the end to have a few shots! Disappointed! As discussed in the film, are you the genetically altered you or are you not? For the future of mankind, transforming into a new species, transforming mankind for a planet, becoming a person without language ability (it is said to be low-frequency communication in the movie), with bird-like wings (it looks more like a wingsuit flying equipment), Is it necessary to transform into this bird-like shape, is it progress, and take a step back, why not transform into a new species that can survive in a post-radiation world, will it be easier? After all, not much has changed!

The little brother in "Avatar" did a good job. In "A Song of Ice and Fire", Long Ma's little follower did not take off again. World peace is what people want. I applaud North Korea bravely. I hope there will never be a nuclear war in the future!

The Titan quotes

  • Prof. Martin Collingwood: No one attempts the impossible without belief in something greater than themselves. Even if that something is a someone.

  • Prof. Martin Collingwood: Each of you is here because you understand the dire necessity of finding a new home for the human race. Maybe you're mad, ambitious, adventurous. But each of you has a rare willingness to put yourselves on the line for the sake of others.
